The Updated Bytecoin Development Roadmap.

The Bytecoin team is happy to present you an updated version of our
development roadmap. This roadmap version displays the major checkpoints
which Bytecoin is going to pass in the next couple of months. The
events mentioned on the list below are necessary, and some more minor
releases or updates will follow as well.

We would like to have your acknowledgement with the checkpoints as
the new roadmap will clarify the current development situation and shed
light on the expected progress we hope to achieve.

23.07.2018. The High Load Resistant Release.

With this release we present an internal guard mechanism (payment
queue) that will be able to bear any high load instances on the network
without losing transactions that get displaced from pools. We will also
introduce a reworked wallet cache which is expected to help increase the
blockchain scanning performance.

17.08.2018. The Public Testnet Release.

We will launch a public network of officially managed test nodes
where Bytecoin developers will be deploying cutting-edge technological
upgrades. During the testnet period, there’ll be a test coin launched on
its own blockchain with the ability to mine it and send transactions in
the testnet.

31.08.2018. The Hardfork Release.

Along with minor but valuable modifications, the main feature of this
release is the long-awaited ability to set dynamic transaction fees.
Despite the appeared simplicity of the change, we needed a considerable
investment in time and energy to implement this protocol-breaking
improvement.
This feature will be extremly valuable among the entire Bytecoin
ecosystem. The idea of dynamic fees is to increase a miner’s rewards and
prioritizing one transaction over another simply depends on the fee
that the sender decided to include in their transaction.

Marketing Activities.

This roadmap doesn’t reflect the marketing activities that we’re
going to make until the end of the year, because here we have decided to
focus mainly on the development strategy. However, all of our plans
still remain the same, and soon we’ll make an update on them.

Summary.

The upcoming releases should be considered for everyone who is
involved in Bytecoin ecosystem as absolutely necessary. The effort we’re
putting into this has to be kept in mind by the entire community. We
will continue to give everyone the most up-to-date information, but we
would be glad if every Bytecoin user and integrator would make regular
upgrades to their software versions.
